Now Thad is determined to keep her safe and find the shooter. He's prepared to face danger. But nothing could prepare him for Lucy Sinclair. As his mother's nurse, Lucy is capable and compassionate. But this irresistible woman poses a serious challenge for Thad. He has no intention of settling down, yet he can't deny the intense attraction growing between them. And when a stalker sets his sights on Lucy—possibly the same man who tried to kill his mother—Thad realizes just how much he has to lose.
